[issue14592] old-style (level=-1) importing broken after importlib changes

[Stefan Behnel]

New submission from Stefan Behnel <scoder at users.sourceforge.net>:

Up to the early Py3.3 developer versions, calling __import__() with a level of -1 worked as in Python 2, i.e. it tried a relative import first and then a global import.

This no longer seems to be available after the importlib rewrite (e.g. as of rev f341b99bb370).
